“She would love him, and more than she had thought she would, but that was the way of loving most things. You couldn’t portion love out in spoons or cups or slices. You could only let it grow and nurture it if you could, cut it down if you had to.”
― Nghi Vo, The City in Glass

“But I would not be other than as I am. I like being who I am. It’s the rest of the world that I would like to change.”
― T. Kingfisher, Paladin's Strength

“The World feels Complete and Whole, and I, its Child, fit into it seamlessly. Nowhere is there any disjuncture where I ought to remember something but do not, where I ought to understand something but do not.”
― Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

“I want to take myself apart into something else, and if I cannot do that, I want to destroy every part of it that could ever be used against me.”
― Andrew Joseph White, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth

“No one loves a city like one born to it, and no one loves a city like an immigrant. No one loves a city like they do when they are young, and no one loves a city like they do when they are old. The people loved the city of Azril in more ways than could be counted. Vitrine loved her city like demons and cats may love things, with an eye towards ownership and the threat of small mayhem.”
― Nghi Vo, The City in Glass
